Personally, I think the real douchebags are web devs who only build and test for chromium based browsers, making some critical tools completely unusable on Firefox/Linux systems. Looking at you, Chase.com.

Really, anyone who develops third-party software that entrenches monopolies.

Increased competition from open source alternatives harms competitiveness? By forcing them to compete and maybe actually innovate?

Haven't seen anyone else ask this question, so I will. What on earth does an AI data center need all of this storage for?

The only significant use of AI is for text generation to my knowledge. Video gen is the only thing that takes up any significant space, and current models can only produce short video clips before they go off the rails. Also, very few people are interested in video gen. It's an expensive toy without much real world utility. Is there something I'm missing? Are these AI companies planning to scrape every video off the net and store them independently for training?

Booking out this much HDD capacity would only make sense to me if 5 TikTok or YouTube competitors all came onto the scene at once. Not AI. AI needs fast, parallelized compute and high performance memory to hold the models it's running. Text slop requires negligible storage.

Klean Kanteen has worked great for me. Kept tea that my girlfriend and I made at 7:00 too hot to drink at 13:00. And that was at a snowy mountain lake – the time in between was spent snowshoeing up a mountain trail in the middle of January.

Maybe a silly question, but do you preheat the inside of your thermos with boiling water before adding the coffee from the moka pot?

If not, that small amount of coffee would be quickly cooled by the inner walls of any thermos.

Very unfortunate choice to use Plex, which has been collecting telemetry on its users since 2017:

That type of service is pretty close to the top of the list when it comes to things I demand privacy for.

But this is a cool project! Looking forward to Jellyfin support.

Someone paid for their stolen works regurgitatation service to build an open source regurgitator that's just as good? Oh noes!

Oh wow, a real life infinite money glitch!

Are you Jesus?

I personally feel more sketched out by Facebook marketplace and all of its AliExpress drop shipping posts. Craigslist feels more pure and real (except for the cars, but who goes there for that?) Bought a bread machine on craigslist from a little old lady just a couple of weeks ago. Nice woman. Super easy transaction.

Gotcha, wasn't thinking about surveillance. We are the social credit system – China ain't got shit on our authoritarian future.

Hello, fellow Thunder aficionado

Encryption not open source or auditable, encryption not enabled by default, entire platform captured by Russian oligarchs years ago. It is as secure as people sending all of their private messages to me to pass along to their contacts, and me saying "trust me bro, I won't look".

Ollama is a VC-backed copy/paste of llama.cpp.

They have a history of using llama.cpp's code (and bugs) without supporting the project or giving credit. llama.cpp is easy to use, more performant, and truly open source.

You can fuck right off back to the FSB with that misinformation.
